The TGA has approved 2 vaccines for use in Australia, the:

  1. Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine

  2. Oxford/Astrazeneca vaccine.

This means that these vaccines have met the TGA’s rigorous standards for safety, quality and efficacy. It will be free to all Australian residents.

You can view a list of vaccines that have submitted applications to the TGA.

We’re waiting on the government's aged care worker vaccination policy before developing our own policy on immunisation.

Our duty is to continue supporting our clients, while minimising the risk to others. If a client tests positive for COVID-19, any team member who has been in contact with them will immediately be required to self isolate for 14 days, and any other clients the support worker has visited will be notified.

If the client who has tested positive requires services home care services to stay healthy and safe, we will work with them to ensure they receive the support they need, while taking the utmost precautions to protect our team from the virus.

Our team are on the front-line, so we take their safety, and that of their colleagues, very seriously. As soon as we discover a team member has been tested for COVID-19, they must self isolate until their test result is known. They must provide evidence of a negative test result to continue working.

We closely follow the health advice and updates from NSW Health, Health Victoria and Queensland Health and regularly ask our team members to confirm that they have not attended any hotspots.
